Willington, Bedfordshire

Willington is a village and civil parish located in the English county of Bedfordshire.

The village is recorded in the Domesday Book as Welitone and as Wilitona in c. 1150, from Old English tun (homestead) among the willows,[2] and is part of the ancient hundred of Wixamtree.

In the parish church of St Lawrence there is a grand 16th-century chapel.

In addition, it is home to The Danish Camp, a cafe set along the cycle route which holds an annual fireworks display on bonfire night (5 November).

The village's only pub - The Crown - was built in 1904 by Newland and Nash, a Bedford Brewer, as The Crown Inn, as a direct response to a railway station finally being provided in 1903. Notable people include: Eve Murdoch, local celebrity.
